Im about to go for the first drive so Ill let you guys know. I have more pics in my photo album thing on the right<--.

Well I just got back from the first run and it didnt eliminate wheel hop as much as I hoped, like when you just pull away and when you get going and then just get on it. It did make shifting feel firm and confident, which I love. And as far as vibes go, they are there and I personally could live with them. They are about the same, if not a little more than with the Ingalls TD and it actually makes the car sound pretty good for some reason. I know for sure that I am getting the tranny poly inserts.

In conclusion, I am happy, there are vibes that are livable, and it makes it feel more confident of a car.

Just got mine in today! looks top notch! paint is perfect and should hide itself from aftermarket seeking eyes well.
One question I have is on the fender side of the mount the poly is all cracked. Is this fine or will this get worse over time?
Here are some pictures of the mount, and the last one the flash had to be on to pick up the cracks the best.Thanks again

Pmed you back and sent an email directly to your site, with my phone number. If you can contact me today by phone thatd be great. If it is only cosmetic I do not mind and would like to install today. If not I have an option you suggested that we can go with. Thanks again

Do you think i should get this or should i get the bwoody solid mounts? And do you think wit poly tranny pounts and control arm bushings, all the wheel hop will be gone? I really wanna order this now but i need some more opinions...

I think if you do all poly mounts possible you will eliminate it all together and just spin instead.

Received mine today, and wasted no time installing. Results were great. Launched the car and there was nothing but spinning tires. Which is the next issue to address. But hit second and kept spinning, no hop at all. Install was a breeze. Wish the weather was a bit warmer but ill survive. Vibes are deffinitly felt in the cabin, but i think its sweet. Can deffinitly hear it in the tone of the motor as well. A+ product. Pictures....







sorry, forgot to move them in photobucket.

Hey 07MetallicSC, how was it for you getting the 3 bolts going into the motor to line up at first, mine took a little finesse but i eventually got it straight.

mine was cake, did the two bolts to the frame first, then those top three didnt line up, so i loosened up the outer two bolts, moved into position, then got them finger tight, got the three that go to the motor going, then torqued them all down.

BWoody states their's are solid, however they also use a poly bushing just like we do. Notice in their picture the round bushing...

Also, on our deisgn we do not use a round style bushing, as there is NOT a lower mount on the engine side. We use a square bushing to eliminate even more engine movement (something no one else has done yet)

If you made a mount just of metal (100% solid) and no bushing you would never stand the vibrations.

The above is what makes our mount stand above the crowds. Also, you have unlimited choices of colors, to customize your mount to.

If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

exactly why I was making sure it was poly

I was thinking about changing one mount at a time until i eliminate wheel hop, would I be better off to start with the your engine mount or your trans mounts?

Link to any besides that one^
Also do you need two? Are they hard to install? There supposed to not add any vibes, right? So why don they have any solid ones?

I really wanna order this along with the prothane tranny mounts, but i don wanna pay $25 to get those small things shipped!!! There should be a shippin discount because that should cost $10 at most to get shipped.
